Premier League: No white flag from Neil Warnock ahead of Crystal Palace v Chelsea

Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock is trying not to think about the attacking talent at Chelsea as it would cause him sleepless nights.

Palace host the Premier League leaders on Saturday, with Warnock insisting Jose Mourinho's side are capable of emulating Arsenal's 'Invincibles' by completing the season unbeaten.

"I don't think you can stop Diego Costa," he said.

"And you can talk about Costa but there is also Eden Hazard, Oscar - you name it, they are all top-class players.

"There's Cesc Fabregas and the unsung heroes. But we worry about our players not theirs. If you think about their players too much, you wouldn't sleep."

This is the type of league where there's always a chance.

But Warnock refuses to raise the white flag this weekend and believes his side can take inspiration from Stoke's 1-0 win at Manchester City at the end of August, while also remembering they won the corresponding fixture last season courtesy of a John Terry own goal.

"This is the type of league where there's always a chance. We are 7/1 apparently. But there is always an opportunity," he added.

"We know we are going to be under the cosh, but every team that plays against Chelsea in the bottom half of the table is under the cosh.

"It is can we be disciplined enough? Can we create enough on the day?

"You just have to concentrate on trying to get your own players up for the game and not show too many weaknesses.

"That is what we have been trying to do this week and hopefully that comes off. Look at Stoke - they beat Man City away.

"I don't think there is a club we can't beat in the Premier League and that's the same for every team in the Premier League. Results are possible everywhere."
